I have a function that comes out of axios request.

When I do this the console log displays the correct result:

but I don't know how to assign it to a variable so I can operate on it later. I have either some errors or undefined or message in terminal "[Function: new2] or somethink like variable is not definied etc

        function new2(a) {
 console.log("new item = " + a);
  }  // success

but

        function new2(b) {
     const variable = b
    return variable;
    
}
console.log("new item=" + new2()) // not work ;/
console.log("new item=" variable) // not work , etc
